(I.e. Swimming, Hiking, Biking, Mountain […]

One day while driving a few colleagues to lunch at Ramenya on Olympic Blvd, one of my passengers discovered a cell phone under one of the seats. The phone wasn’t mine and although I had a pretty good idea whose phone it was, I gave her permission to look through the phone and discover the owner. […]

Backing up and sharing files is too easy with the Microsoft Skydrive and the Gspace Firefox Add-on. These online storage solutions have been around for some time, but recently the storage space has grown quite a bit (to 5 GB) and since they’re free,  it’s time to sign up.

For better or for worse, if you look at my bookcase or my DVD collection, a quarter of the inventory falls into the organized crime genre. I love the fast moving, hard hitting tales of crews who had enough dirty money to fix a world series and transform Las Vegas. Not to mention, the wacky […]

For most people living in Los Angeles, traffic is a given. I am used to it by now, but whenever I visit a city with a really nice public transportation system, I feel a little bit jealous. It doesn’t make me jealous enough to trade the 300 days of sunshine that LA averages per year for […]
